SAW-SET.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SARAH FRANCES WIL- HOLLAND, a citizen of the United States, and a residentof Oklahoma city, in the county and State of Oklahoma, administratrix of the estate of JOSEPH CAMPBELL MILHOLLAND, deceased, late a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Oklahoma, in the county and State of Oklahoma, who did in his lifetime invent certain new and useful Improvements in Saw-Sets, do hereby declare the following tO be a full, clear, and exact specification of said invention.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved saw-set, arranged to accurately and quickly set a plurality of teeth at the same time, successive teeth standing in opposite directions.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, which will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claim.

A practical embodiment of the inventionis represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improvement; Fig. 2 is a plan view of the saine; Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the same; Fig. is an enlarged face view of the dies; Fig. 5 is an enlarged cross section of the improvement on the line 5-5 of Fig. 2; Fig. G is a perspective view of one of the dies; and Fig. T is a perspective view of a modiiication of a die provided with a plurality oi' sets of anvils and heads.

The saw-set is mounted on a suitably constructed main frame A, supporting a fixed jaw B, in which is removably secured a die O, operating in conjunction with a movable die O for setting the teeth of the saw, as hereinafter more fully described. The dies O and O are provided with alternating anvils O2 and heads O3, of which the heads O3 of one die are opposite the anvils O2 of the other die, and the anvils and heads are beveled in opposite direct-ions, as will be readily understood by reference to Figs. 5 and 6. The die O is removably held in a jaw B', mounted to slide up and down in suitable bearings on the frame A, and the said jaw B is connected with toggle levers D, pivotally connected with a supporting bar A Specification of Letters Patent.

forming part ot' the frame A. The toggle levers D are pivotally connected with a link E, engaged by a hand lever F, :tulcrumed on the frame A and under the control of the operator, to cause the toggle levers to open and close with a view to move the jaw B u-p and down for the die O to co-act with the die O to set the teeth of the saw. frame A is secured a table G, extending in front of the fixed jaw B and its die O, and on the table are secured the transverselyextending supporting bars H for the saw to rest on, the top ot the bars I-I being approximately flush wit-h the top of the die l, as plainly shown in Figs. 3 and 5, to bring the teeth of the saw in proper position on the top of the die O. Retaining bars I are secured at the outer ends to the outer ends of the bars H by thumb screws J, to engage the top of the saw and thus hold the same against accidental shifting while the saw teeth are set. A transverse screw K, located immediately in the rear of the die O, screws in a nut K attached to the frame A, so as to regulate the depth the saw teeth extend on top of the die O. v

Pins L or other fastening devices are used for securing the dies O, O in place in the jaws B, B, to allow of conveniently removing the dies O, O for exchanging the same for dies used i'or setting saw teeth of different saws.

The operation is as follows:l Then the jaw B is in raised position, the saw is placed in position between the bars I-I, I, with the saw teeth extending alternately over the anvils O2 and heads O3 of the fixed die O, it being understood that the number of teeth per inchin the saw correspond to the number ot anvils O2 and heads O3 per inch of the die O or O. rl`he operator now bears down on the lever F, to straighten out the toggle levers D and thus move the die O down and in engagement with the top of the saw teeth, thus setting the same alternately in opposite directions, as each head O3 of one die co-acts with the anvil O2 of After the teeth are set, the lever F is returned to raise the die O out of Contact with the saw teeth.

By the arrangement described a large number of saw teeth are set simultaneously with the greatest accuracy, and if the length of the saw exceeds the length of the dies,

On the gli the saw is shifted correspondingly over the support, to engage another sety ol teeth with the die C, alter which the above described operation is repeateth that is7 the die C is brought down to set the teeth.

l-laving thus described iny invention, l elaiin as new and desire to secure by Leb ters Patent:

In a saw-set, the combination of a fixed jaw and a movable jaw, dies on the said jaws, provided with alternately upwardly and downwardly inclined anvils and heads having plane surfaces and extending transverselyY the entire width of the dies7 with an edge of each of the said. anvils and an edge oit each of the said heads constituting a straight edge on the said dies, pairs ot' toggle levers Comprising toggle bars pivoted, at their ends to a horizontal bar centrally disposed, with one pair of the toggle levers pivotally connected wit-l1 one of the dies and a hand lever pivotally mounted to the frame of the saw-set and having a pin eeeentrically mounted and engaging a slot of the said horizontal bar, and a holder on the said fixed aw for removably holding a saw, the teeth on the said saw being adapted to rest on the anvils and heads of the said lifted jaw and to be set by the said anvils and heads ot the movable jaw co-aeting with the said anvils and heads on the ixed jaw.

In testimony whereof I have signed my naine to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
